This is still the BEST science fiction movie ever made!!

It's coming back to IMAX on August 24th for its 50th anniversary.

This is playing in IMAX theaters across the USA this week and it's actually the original 161 minutes version that premiered on April 2nd, 1968.

After the premiere, Kubrick cut 19+ minutes out of it and the cut version (142 minutes) is the theatrical version the world has seen and known for the past 50 years.

This original version that's playing in IMAX right now will be released on 4k Ultra-HD Blu-ray on October 30th, 2018.

Saw blackkklanman and the meg this past week.

Blackkklanman: trump supporter’s heads might blow up watching this movie. If you take it as a comedy you might get a few laughs. Not a really believable movie with a lot of bad 70s type acting. But I thought it was entertaining but more of a wait for hbo type movie.

The meg. Just like I would figure a jaws + Jason stathem movie would be like. Watchable but if you missed it you didn’t miss much.

Went to see

The Meg (2018)

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4779682/



Not much to see here unless you really want to see what kind of crappy CGI a $130 million budget buys.

The only character in it that does anything is Jason Statham and the Asian lady - she is in it because this is another Hollywood Made In China movie.

The other characters are just there to fall in the water and swim in panic while The Meg is chasing them and maybe they will get to safety before they are eaten.

There are 2 other women characters in it: Jessica McNamee and Ruby Rose.

One plays Jason Statham's ex wife and the other is the designer of the underwater marina station and they both don't do much besides again, swim, swim, before The Meg eats them.

Watch (or rewatch) Jaws 1975 instead with NO CGI and a mechanical shark that was way ahead of its time.

2.5/5

p.s.

You’re on drugs. I think it’s an amazing movie and very likeLy win the both the Oscar for Best Picture and for Best Director. It has already won the Palme d’Or and the Jury Prize at Cannes. Spike is going to clean up.

I have attempted to watch this for the 4th time since I got it 3+ weeks ago.

I just can't get into it.

I will watch maybe 10 minutes at the most if even that much and lose interest.

It's classified as a Thriller and so far it hasn't thrilled me.

Elizabeth Harvest (2018)

Here's the trailer:



This is the 2nd theatrical movie this year I couldn't finish watching because it didn't hold my attention.

The other movie was Winchester

Dave Chappelle’s version 10 years ago was much better.

We all know that just because a movie wins an award doesn’t make it a good movie.

I can think of a few Best Pictures that sucked:

Gladiator (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon should had won)
The English Patient (Fargo should had won)
Kramer vs. Kramer (Apocalypse Now should had won)
Terms of Endearment (The Right Stuff should had won)
Out Of Africa (Prizzi's Honor should had won)
Titanic (L.A. Confidential should had won)
Chicago (Gangs of New York should had won)
Dances With Wolves (Goodfellas should had won)
Shakespeare In Love (Saving Private Ryan should had won)

And every Best Picture winner since 2008 inclusive were all junk

The last movie I saw was 12 Strong. It was really good, but a long time ago... Its about time for more dates
maybe even a netflix and chill date

Some of your choices are not the better if the two movies (e.g. The Right Stuff). And there are reasons some of the other films didn’t win (e.g, Apocalypse Now, L.A.confidential). But most fundamentally, you can have two outstanding movies in a year where both films are truly Oscar worthy (Kramer/Apocalypse/All That Jazz and Norma Rae); and Dances/Goodfellas).

And there have been sine AMAZING films in recent years. King’s Speech; Twelve Years a Slave; Birdman (best pribably since Amadeus); etc. And plenty of eras have their clunkers that dint age well.

I didn't like any of those movies that won Best Pictures.

Everything that won Best Picture since 2008, I didn't like.

[dallasfan]

Gladiator and titanic were good movies.

If blackkklanman even gets nominated there is some funny business going on

[Lil Oral Annie]

I watched the new Tyler Perry movie last night called "Acrimony". It's very good.



Another one I watched last week that will give you chills is "The Keeping Hours".


Both of these are on amazon prime.

[Carmella_love69]

I really liked acrimony. It was a good movie
